Go Preds!

Also, Ron Maclean please stop with the corny Mother's Day tie-ins.

[AC]

Johansen scores early, 1-0.

[omelete]

Nice goal. Lots of empty seats in the lower bowl still.

[AC]

Wow gorgeous PP goal by Neal from Johansen. 2-0!

[Brodieyouevenlift]

Wooo

Lol what a weird goal. Great play by Arvidson.

Meanwhile Galley has NO IDEA how Gibson couldn't see the pass to Neal. Completely oblivious to the perfect screen in front, which I'm guessing was Arvidson?

[AC]

It pleases me greatly that Nashville already has 2 goals, while Anaheim only has 2 measly shots.

[theJuice]

Fantastic start so far, loving it.

[dino7c]

Now the refs are calling all the Ducks cheap plays

[savemedrzaius]

Preds are just on another level compared to all the other Western Conference teams.

Subban gonna get his cup! I hope...

[hwy19man]

It is another slow start by the Ducks and it would not surprise me to see Bernier come in relief.

Yep, it was Arvidson. I was actually thinking just before the goal that what a screen for a pretty small guy. You can't screen the goalie legally any better than that.

Also was it Gary galley who spent 45 seconds correcting a pretty meaningless point of it being an EV strength goal instead of a pp? That should have taken 5 seconds but he instead talked about it for an eternity while the Preds were on the pp.

[RougeUnderoos]

What the hell was Rinne doing there?

[Roof-Daddy]

Glad the Preds are doing good, but man it's frustrating. I think the Flames are built pretty similar to the Preds and could easily be here playing them right now had they gotten anything close to quality goaltending.

Flames built like the Preds? In what way? Preds have big physical skilled forwards and solid defensive minded defencemen. Flames have offensive minded d-men and smaller skilled forwards and our bigger skilled forwards aren't physical. Don't see the resemblance at all.

[AC]

So close for Nashville, off the post by Wilson.

Preds also have a reliable goalie too.
